YES! Honestly the "underdog" group totally peer pressured Yu-min (the girl who gave out info) and part of me understands…
U might be right about Yu-min but from what I know about general doctors they all tend to do 2 years of hospital work where they are forced to take on a lot of work and are under a lot of pressure. Medical school is ALL about pressure and stress. So, I can't really give her too much leniency especially since the next day she was ready to help Joon bin - the same a**hole that put the idea in her head that Dong Jae was betraying her. Like . .I am done with her.
I understand what ur saying about Orbit recruiting and stuff - but he never really recruited. People that were weaker were just gravitating towards them because rememebr a lot of players were saying that Dong Jae and Si-won had a wall around them and it was just difficult for others to get near them. And during the 2nd game - they made IT VERY clear that they were the alphas and everyone else were the underdogs. Everytime they changed the general rule - they made it so that u could only use it if u gave away a piece. All the players were even complaining - like "oh we can't use that because we don't have any pieces to give". They kept throwing it in their faces with that rule that we have pieces to throw away while u dont. So, it was bad planning on their part but they are the ones that drew that line in the sand and they regret it because they lost. If they won the 2nd game - they would have continued to think they were amazing and they would win it all. Them losing made them get back to reality that they needed more allies. Like Dong Jae gave away his piece to Seok-jin which got him an ally. All Si-won had to do was give away one of her pieces to someone rather than waste 2 pieces during game 2 just to get in 9th place or w.e. place it was. I think Si-won is just too greedy and really just thinking of herself. Dong Jae actually cared and wanted to win based on his skills. THats why I wished Si-won got out over Dong Jae. But like u said we will have to agree to disagree on her lol.
I want seok-jin or Orbit to win lol. Don't really care for the other players. I think they are actually smart but I have a feeling people are going to betray Orbit - especially the weaker players.
On the Yu Min thing - I just thought it was ridiculous how she cried so bitterly during the elimination but then…
A lot of weak players trying really hard to get by and just ready to backstab. Like I really hope the weaker players don't win because they don't deserve it. That is why I prefer Seok-jin or Orbit to win. I understand some people don't like Orbit because he allowed the weaker players to win but that was always his thing and he stood by it.
I know some people might claim that he wants the stronger players out and than he will start eliminating the weaker players. I kind of disagree with that. I think he genuinely wants to help the weaker players and doesn't really care about winning at all. Because if he wanted to win I think he would have beat everyone. Dude is REALLY smart and always coming up with plans that are able to beat the minority alliance.
That is what hurt the most. Dong Jae swore on God - like he really wanted them to trust him. Like I dont like Seo-win (forgot her name the female in the minority alliance) but Dong Jae actually doesn't think he is better because he has more pieces. He was the one that gave away his piece to Seok-jin so he could get on his good side and Seok-jin has been loyal. If the female also just gave some of her pieces away rather than hoarding them she would have had more allies.
It is upsetting that they decided to save Yeon woo and make it so that Seung Kwan has to go to jail. I understand that it is to make sure no one is eliminated but I am sorry to say this but Yeon woo deserved to be the first ones to be out. Does not deserve to be on the show - absolutely no contributing factors. I am questioning if she is even a Go player at this point. Like she knew she couldn't win and ran to Orbit to ask for help - which is fine but I mean she hasn't done anything.
Like does she really want to make it to the finals riding the coattails of Orbit? The fact that Guillaume got eliminated in the 2nd game while Yeon woo, who was 95% of the time in jail still upsets me. I really hope Orbit stops helping at this point - or at least help those that just need the extra push. Not someone who isn't doing anything.
YES! Honestly the "underdog" group totally peer pressured Yu-min (the girl who gave out info) and part of me understands…
I would agree with you about the peer pressure thing because I was also thinking the same thing. But than I was like wait isn't she a doctor? Her whole profession is about working under stress and people yelling at her (sometimes patients yell at doctors) and still being able to come up with a solution for the issue. So she should have been able to think under those circumstances. I honestly think she thought she was betrayed and was like let me take him down with me. Which is fine but she wasn't 100% sure if he did or not though. I mean I don't blame her too much for that situation. I think Joon Bin was more at fault because I think he was just looking for a reason to kick him out and sadly he gave them that reason.
I don't blame Orbit too much for what happened to the other girl in the group that got kicked out alongside Dong Jae because he said that he was going to help the 4 first that he made an alliance with and IF he could help the others that are weaker he will do his best. In his mind the other girl in the group was already going to lose no matter what since he believed Dong Jae gave up her number. So, he didn't really see anything wrong with giving away her number and helping the other players try to get more points. Because at this point the minority alliance was already going to get more pieces than them because they had their own number + the other 2 girls which is 7 (this is what they thought at the moment) while they only had 5. Like Orbit can't help EVERYONE in my opinion that is just too tall of a task for him - but he has helped them plenty and even sacrificed his pieces to get extra cards so he could get their number for them. Like he has to help around 8 people he won't be able to do that no matter how smart he is. There is someone he is going to have to leave out and I think he understood that. He wanted to make sure most people were able to stay until the 3rd day and I think he achieved that for the most part.
As for Si-won. I am sorry I really think she is partially a follower and has no choice NOW but to make some contributions because it is only her and Seok-jin. Dong-jae was the brains and he is already eliminated. Personally I think the reason for the whole underdog vs. alpha came to existance was partially her fault. She ONLY had people in her group that had more that 1 piece and made sure that was the case because she thought she could beat everyone with just them. It wasn't until the 2nd game where Orbit and his team kicked their asses that she realized that nope this isn't going to work and they made a mistake. She wasn't humble and she found out the hard way and a bit too late that maybe it was a bit too early to be making groups and enemies. I prefer Seok-jin or Orbit winning to be honest.
Very addicting. Going to go on a bit of rant though lol. I am upset that Dong Jae got eliminated the way he did. I understand the minority alpha group was trying to get people to look past the grouping situation and actually believe them but I think that was the wrong game to start at. Especially since 2 of them still stuck together - they should have just worked together and allowed the other remaining members to fight it out and 2 of them would have gotten eliminated (for sure) and even allow some cracks in their alliance which would have helped the minority alliance A LOT. Instead they just made Dong Jae fight for himself and getting someone to trust him was an uphill battle - too many outside forces that were just against him.
I don't know the females name that was in the group with Dong Jae that betrayed him - but that was just . . .LOW. Like she doesn't know 100% if she was betrayed but was willing to give out the information of Dong Jae and her friend that was also in the group. Like say he did betray her - ur OUT and giving them his number is not going to change that. So, why not just trust him and not give it out and see what happens because giving out the number and finding out he didn't betray u is going to just leave a bad taste in your mouth (which it did).
The minority team/alpa team I actually like most of the players and kind of wished Dong Jae and Guillaume stayed. I feel it would have been more interesting since they tend to make more contributions compared to the others who just kind of follow Orbit. Don't get me wrong I think Orbit is a freaking genious! But he is helping those that don't deserve it compared to those that are contributing. Like a lot of them are just riding the wave and hoping Orbit will carry them as far as he can. I feel that is the same way with See Woon in the minority team as well. She hasn't made ANY kind of real contributions and kind of just relying on the other members like Dong Jae & Seok Jin to carry her. In the first game she was eliminated 2nd because she was SUS and the journalist automatically knew it was her so checked her identity and was like YUP its her. She just got lucky that she was chosen as a "terrorist" and won points and was given a spot in the alpha team but since than she just got through the other tests because of her alliance.
And don't even get me started on Joon Bin -_-. Dude is riding Orbit the whole way through like everyone else. And just constantly saying how he wants someone out and that they should do everything possible to kick them out. Like ur not even taking initiative and coming up with plans but u just want to eliminate people that are actually doing work 0.o. I wouldn't trust him AT ALL.
She really was lol. She was a realistic character that truly matured as she entered the real world. But not like exponentially but slowly. I loved how they made her mature but still had faults. Made her imperfect but matured from what she was in the beginning. A lot of times they would just make them more mature and show them as this amazing business person and its just like . ..yea they were never that person in the beginning. Where did they get this new amazing brilliance lol?
I… don’t get why many comments were against the mum. I’m on episode 35 now and I’m still waiting to see…
Agreed. I think the mom was pretty cool and supportive of her son when he went into his own business. She never said anything to him when he lost his job but instead just wanted him to be happy and healthy. Which is quite amazing because a lot of parents nag their kids whenever they make a mistake.
Work been killing me but I still got 3 more episodes to go lol. Hoping to finish it over the weekend. But please no more ice hockey couple. I don't care what the directors were trying to gain from them but so far from all the comments I have read on here, twitter & weibo - NO ONE likes them lol. And no one understands what part they play in the overall drama.
Idk if anyone else feels this way but my favorite female character was Pan Rou. Her character development was great. She started off as the childish coworker that had a crush on Sheng Yang but even than she never really forced it or did anything manipulative like a lot of 2nd FL's in dramas. She made it obvious that she liked him but never really crossed the line by forcing him to like her or tried to separate SY from JB. And the fact she matured when they got their own business - of course she made mistakes but it is her first time running a business so they are bound to happen. But she made sure that Song Chen and Sheng Yang knew that mistakes can happen but they should move past it and that everyone has a part in the business and no one is unnecessary - everyone has a part to play. I loved her character development and just her overall character. Like too many times we have these SUPER perfect characters that no one can relate to because they can solve rocket science level questions. Pan Rou is a simple girl that isn't the best in her field but is just trying to find her place in society.
Yup! They really are superfluous to the story. I got used to ignoring their scenes haha. I was watching something…
Yea the sister is just confusing. She wouldn't like it if someone forced her to be with someone she didn't like. But she is okay with doing it to her sister -_-. Girl needs help. SMH! And I don't even understand whats so great about the uncle that she wants them to be together so bad. She pretty much chose the closest guy that was around her that was about her sisters age. She didn't even put much effort in it.
E25: wtf is wrong with the ex husband? He deserve a punch in the throat and a kick in the groin!
I feel like he isjealous - he doesn't mind the fact that he moved on with Jian Bing's best friend. But he is jealous that she got someone that was a lot younger than her and him. It hurt his pride - I think. He can't imagine someone actually falling in love with Jing Bing that he must be there for her money or status. That way it will make him feel better that he still was her best choice.
And the uncle. There's that mountain. They could jump off it. Just sayin'.
The uncle is definitely annoying but I think the sister takes the crown lol. LIke . . .why is she even involving herself into her sisters business like that. And who exactly asked for the weird ice hockey couple as well? No one cares for them AT ALL
Yup! They really are superfluous to the story. I got used to ignoring their scenes haha. I was watching something…
Rofl, I am as well at this point. The minute I see any of them entering the scene I just ffw. Unless Sheng Yang is in it as well than I have to bear with it -_-. Sheesh - but the sister is the most annoying one of them all. Like she doesnt even make sense to me. Why is she trying to get her sister to date that uncle guy? When she knows he doesnt even like him. Like shouldnt she want whats best for her rather than force another relationship down her throat.
Read comments about how annoying the hockey couple are - and now that I have finally caught up a good deal I am starting to understand it lol. Like their entire story could be cut out of this drama and u wouldn't miss anything. They have nothing to do with the main storyline AT ALL. The other couples including Sheng Yang's parents are great and funny and interesting - only downside is the hockey couple.
Agreed. I really like that mom and dad team whenever they are on screen. Plus, I like the actor who played the…
Definitely. He cracks me up lol. And the relationship between the mom and dad sometimes remind me of my parents as well. Very idealistic for older couples who have been married for so long. And the mom is just cute at times lol - especially when she was in disguise in order to follow her son lol
Keep reading comments about how the hockey kids are annoying lol. So far I haven't reached upto their part but…
He doesn't seem like a bad guy but he will never get the girl lol.
Team Leader can go suck IT! Dude makes me angry everytime he shows up and starts staring at Sheng Yang. Because u know he is trying to find a way to steal some kind of credit from him -_-. Like bro just quit or just be happy with where u r and mentor the new ones that are coming in -_-. What a FOOL!
I would like to see a trailer for this lol.
